Hakafa means "encirclement."
We are a Reform congregation
of people who choose
to have no building,
no board of directors,
and no fund-raising.
Our CIRCLE has been growing
for nearly 40 years. But as we grow,
our intimate, caring, and
welcoming atmosphere remains.

New announcements are posted each Wednesday.

Join us for a Kumzits!

Saturday, July 8 - 7:00 PM
at the home of
Linda and David Weinstein

Join us for havdallah Hakafa style! We will sing, schmooze, and nosh.

"Kumzitz" is a compound word in Hebrew derived from the Yiddish words "kum" (come) and "zits" (sit). The word is used to describe an evening gathering where we come together and sing.

Bring friends & your voices, hands, feet, and musical instruments if you'd like!

All are invited to bring a blanket and/or lawn chair along with family/friends and join us this summer for 7:00 PM Shabbat Services in the Park!

If you'd like to have dinner before the service, come at 5:45 PM and bring a picnic for your family and friends.

In case of rain, there is a shelter with restrooms.

Shabbat in the Home
